This headphones sounds great. When recording music for a rock band, a single speaker fell out.One member of the band played the guitar, and the guitar connected to the amplifier. It was not wise. The second day I went to the store and bought the same model of headphones. Because I was impressed so much with those headphones. Since then I have these headphones , which was around year of our Lords 2003.

It has been many years since 2003. and they still sounds good. But the cosmetic part has given its own. Parts of the fabric were peeled.

I got used RPF800 at internet auction. Materials used are good quality i think like cotton on earphones and plastics. Cord is veryy long as i used them mainly for my mp3 players. Unfortunetly headphones are too heavy to use them outside and after while (like hour or so) you can get headake becouse of weight and tide wearing. Bass seems to be "dark" but imressive, blows your head so u should make some changes in EQ to lower the bass and then it's perfect.

I paid like 70$ (150 PLN) and new one were like 100$(260 PLN) so i think years ago and still it's a good price. You can;t even compare newer technics headphones to this one except better ones for dj's. Technics nowadays is a piece of crap so don;t waste money on the new models.

Minus of this item is that the big gold logo is wearing off with artificial leather but you can live with that if youre not only buing them for big logo. And it;s hard to repair the cord becouse of microsopic copper fibers, but i guess it's common nowadays in headsets cords.

As in his review Magnus Jonsson said, you cant buy a better headphone, even on the higher class...I've listened a lots of headphones, it simply the best i've ever heard, to the border over 500$ line...I'm honest, you have to listen it for yourself, then we'll agree ;)
